BRUNO FERNANDES tore into his Manchester United team-mates for blunders that are costing them a title tilt.
United twice surrendered the lead to let in an injury-time leveller in Saturday’s 3-3 home draw with Everton.

They are now five points behind Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Fernandes said: “We are making many mistakes in the last few games. We can’t keep conceding more goals like that. We have to be more focused, we need to have the same desire to score and to defend our goal.
“Every time we make goals and score goals, we have to be the same way to not concede — and I think we need to learn from this.
“It already happened a lot of times, so it is more than a bit disappointing.
“We can talk about everything that is going on — but it is also about learning and making it better.”
Fernandes had scored a cracker to put United 2-0 up at Old Trafford.
But Everton hit back with two goals in four minutes after the break.
Scott McTominay’s header looked to have won it at 3-2.

But yet more calamitous defending — with keeper David de Gea once again in the spotlight — allowed Dominic Calvert-Lewin to nick a point.
Fernandes said: “It is really bad and you can’t concede like that because — from a full 50 yards — they are a long way from our goal.
“You cannot concede from that. We have to be more focused, we have to be ready — and we have to be stronger.
“We have to defend our goal with everything.”
Misfiring United have now dropped seven points in four games.
They suffered a shock home defeat to Sheffield United and then came a goalless draw at Arsenal.
